Prep Work
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood? Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted JosephContinue reading “Prep Work”
Lord, If You Had Been Here…
The sisters sent word to Jesus saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” John 11:3 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.

When, not if …
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. Isaiah 43:2 NKJV But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink heContinue reading “When, not if …”
Stepping Stones
As for you, you meant evil against me but God meant it for good to bring about this present result. Genesis 50:20 NASB As the story of Joseph’s life unfolds, we find a young man excited about the future God has for him. From the dreams given, and readily shared with his family, we canContinue reading “Stepping Stones”
Frame Your Circumstances Around Truth
Recently, I was in deep thought about a horrendous tragedy that occurred in a friend’s life, and simultaneously, another friend’s reaction to a relatively minor difficulty. These twin issues caused me to think about modern “Americanized” Christian theology concerning life’s difficulties – which all too often is either a hollow, “Oh, just praise the Lord,Continue reading “Frame Your Circumstances Around Truth”
